Clot

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A clot or coagulum (from Latin coagulare = ' stick '; plural coagula ), extravascular blood clot (from Latin extra = 'outside' and Latin vas = 'vessel'), extravascular blood clot , blood cake , blood clot or blood clot is a gelatinous blood blister made of red Blood cells ( erythrocytes ), white blood cells ( leukocytes ) and platelets ( thrombocytes ), which are produced by blood clotting . Your outer skin is stabilized by the "glue" fibrin . An uninfected and intact coagulum plays a crucial role in wound healing as it is a biological wound dressing.

In contrast to the term thrombus , the term clot is also and especially used in medical parlance for a blood clot that is located outside a blood or lymph vessel (extravascular) and not inside (intravascular).
